againft Monmouth's unhappy adherents in the weft will 
ever render his name infamous. Whenever the prifoner 
was of a different party, or he could pjeafe the court by 
condemning him, inftead of appearing, according to the 
•duty of his office, as his counfel, he would fcarcely allow 
him to fpeak for himfelf; but would load him with the 
groffeft and molt vulgar abufe, browbeat, infult, and turn 
to ridicule, the witneffes that fpoke in his behalf; and 
even threaten the jury with fines and imprifonment if 
they made the leaft hefitation about bringing in the pri¬ 
foner guilty. Yet it is faid, that when he was in temper, 
and matters.perfectly indifferent came before him, no one 
became a feat of juftice better. Nay, it even appears, that 
when he was under no ftate-influence, he was fometimes 
•inclined to protect the natural and civil rights of man¬ 
kind, of which the following inftance has been given : 
The mayor and aldermen of Briftol had been ufed to tranf- 
port convicted criminals to the American plantations, and 
•fell them by way of trade. This turning to good account, 
when any pilferers or petty rogues were brought before 
them, they threatened them with hanging ; and then fome 
officers who attended, earneftly perfuaded the ignorant 
intimidated creatures' to beg for transportation, as the 
only way to fave them ; and in general their advice was 
followed. Then, without more form, each alderman in 
courfe took one, and fold him for his own benefit; and 
fometimes warm difputes arofe between them about the 
next turn. This infamous trade, which had been car¬ 
ried on many years, coming to the knowledge of the lord 
chief-juftice, he made the mayor defeend from the bench, 
and ftand at the bar with his fcarlet and fur, with his 
guilty brethren the aldermen, and plead as common cri¬ 
minals. He then obliged them to give fecurities to anfwer 
informations ; but the proceedings were (topped by the 
revolution. He was then committed to the Tower, where 
he died in 1689. It is remarkable, that the late countefs 
of Pom-fret met with very rude infults from the populace 
on the weftern road, only becaufe (he was grand-daugh¬ 
ter of the inhuman Jeffreys.

JEHO'AHAZ, [Heb. the prize.] King of Ifrael, waS 
the foil of Jehu, and fucceeded his father at the period 
when Hazael king of Syria had fubjugated that part of 
the kingdom of Ifrael which was beyond Jordan. As Ja ¬ 
il oahaz was a man of might, he courageoufly difputed the 
further progrefs of the conqueror; but, fince the fevere 
punilhments which had been inflifted upon his country 
had not the effect of reclaiming him from that idolatry 
which proved the ruin of the hqufe of Jeroboam and many 
of his fucceffo-rs, Providence did not favour his enter- 
prifes. In repeated unfuccefsful engagements againft the- 
Syrians, his ftrength was fo much reduced, that lie had 
remaining only fifty liorfe, ten chariots, and ten thoufand 
foot; and was obliged to fubmit to the cruel exaftions 
and oppreffions of his chaftiling, foe. At length, his fon> 
Jehoaih, or Joaffi, whom he affociated with himfelf in the 
fovereignty, became the inftrument of emancipating his 
country; but it is not certain that this favourable change 
took place during the life-time of Jehoahaz. This prince 
died, after a reiga of feventeen years, in the year 839 
B.C. See 2 Kings xiii. 
JEHO'AHAZ, [Heb. the prize.] The fon and fuccef-

tended to reign as wickedly as fome of his predeceffors 
had done; on which account the prophet Jeremiah ex- 
poftulated with him, and exhorted him to repentance and 
reformation, declaring that, if the king perfifted in his im¬ 
pieties, he (hould be carried into captivity, and die in a 
ftrange land. As the prophet’s remonftrances were dif- 
regarded by the king, when he was only in the third 
month of his reign he was depofed by Pharaoh Neclio, 
king of Egypt, who carried him away captive into that 
country, where he died. He was deprived of his crown 
in the year 608 B.C. See 2 Kings xxiii. Jeremiah xxii.

JEHOI'ACHIN, [Heb. the ftrength of the Lord.] King 
of Judah, called alio Jechoniah, and by way of contempt 
Coniah, was the fon of Jehoiakim, and upon his father’s 
death fucceeded to the crown, when he was but eighteen 
years of age. Whether he had affiumed the regal dignity 
without Nebuchadnezzar’s permiffion, or had expreffied 
an intention of fnaking off his yoke, we are not inform¬ 
ed; but that monarch was his determined enemy. The 
facred text fays, that “he did that which was evil in the 
fight of the Lord, according to all that his father had 
done.” His career of wickednefs, however, was but of 
very fhort duration; for before he had reigned three 
months Nebuchadnezzar advanced with his army againft:' 
Jerufaleni, and laid liege to it. Jehoiachin does not feem" 
to have been in a capacity to make any refiftance, and 
therefore came out of the city and threw himfelf on the 
monarch’s mercy, accompanied by his mother and his 
whole court; but they found him inexorably refentful 
againft them, and were all fent away captives to Babylon, 
and died there, as Jeremiah had foretold. On this occa- 
fion Nebuchadnezzar ranfacked Jerufalem and the whole 
kingdom of Judea a fecond time, and carried into capti¬ 
vity the molt famous men for valour or wildom, and the 
molt expert artificers, leaving behind fcarcely any but the 
very common people, to cultivate the land. See 2 Kings 
xxiv.

JEHOI'AKIM, [Heb. the confirmation of the Lord.] 
King of Judah, was the fon of Jofiah, and originally called 
E/iakim. Upon the depofition of his brother Jehoahaz, 
Pharoah Necho railed him to the throne, changing his 
name into that of Jehoiakim, and impoiing on him a 
yearly tribute. Notwithstanding the punilhment which 
his brother’s impieties had drawn down on his head, he 
did not take warning from the awful example, but imi¬ 
tated and furpaffed him in wickednefs, and was clofely 
followed by the Jewiffi people. On this account Jere-
